My last name is Stark after I changed my job to become a female musketeer?

Chapter 555 Agent Grant Ward defected!

The truth of the matter was revealed, Hydra's conspiracy finally came to an end, and everyone in the Avengers Building stopped pursuing Leni's fault of "concealing the truth".

It's just that Tony and Roddy are still a little dissatisfied with Leni knowing that Hydra has obtained the Iron Suit information.

Leni also knew that she was in the wrong, so she smiled and mixed two martinis for the two of them with her own hands, and assured that the information obtained by Hydra was only the original version of the MK2 steel suit design information. Being behind the times, I was reluctantly forgiven by the two of them.

"Haha, don't think that I will forgive you so easily if you please me. Now you owe me once."

Tony took the glass and took a rather disgusting sip, his mouth still hard.

When Leni saw this, she could only cater to him with a smile.

But despite this, Tony himself actually doesn't care much about data leakage.

After all, according to his calculations, even if his design data is not leaked, according to the development speed of those industrial countries, the technology for manufacturing steel armor will be developed in about two years.

The reason why there is still no breakthrough progress so far is that there is no suitable source of power.

This is what Tony is least worried about. The technical level of his new Ark Reactor far exceeds that of today's energy technology in the world for more than ten or twenty years. Even if Hydra obtains Ivan Vanko's first-generation Ark Reactor technology, during this period The level gap cannot be caught up in a short time.

What's more, there are only a dozen countries in the world that have the ability to develop energy-level metal palladium. As of now, there are only a dozen countries in the world. If those countries are allowed to continue to develop, Tony is confident that they will be ten years ahead of them.

…

At the same time, Coulson's side——

"Listen Ward, don't be stubborn anymore. Things are far from irreversible. It's still too late for you to stop now!"

Staring at the speeding off-road vehicle in front of him, Coulson, who was sitting in the passenger seat, still wanted to call Ward back through the car radio.

However, the off-road vehicle in front, which also had the SHIELD emblem printed on it, not only did not stop, but intensified and increased the gear again. The speed of the vehicle suddenly increased a lot, and it traveled farther and farther in the endless traffic flow.

"Tsk! It's really troublesome!"

Melinda in the driver's seat curled her lips when she saw this, and then she upshifted and accelerated without hesitation. She stepped on the accelerator and the V12's high-power engine suddenly let out a powerful roar, and the speed of the car further increased, catching up to the front. That SUV.

The sudden acceleration shook Colson's body, as if he was pressed against the back of the chair. He subconsciously raised his hand to hold the armrest above his head.

I thought to myself, it turns out that Melinda is not only very powerful in flying airplanes, she is also so powerful in driving!

However, after a brief moment of surprise, Coulson regained his composure, then picked up the radio again and continued to persuade Ward on the other end of the communication:

"Ward, stop the car and come back with us..."

Click!

Driving the off-road vehicle fiercely through a red light again, ignoring the panic caused by his desperate behavior, Ward impatiently reached out and cut off the radio communication, and the originally noisy voice in the car suddenly fell silent. .

Glancing at the Chevrolet full-size SUV still chasing after him in the rearview mirror, Ward felt that this mission was really tricky.

Subconsciously looking at the silver-white suitcase placed on the passenger seat, Ward couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.

Why do you do this?

Beep!

The piercing whistle suddenly came from the front, waking up Ward who was almost dazed in an instant. He subconsciously turned the steering wheel to control the car and narrowly missed the bus coming in the opposite direction. Then he shook his head to wake himself up a little.

After listening to Coulson's chatter all the way, I didn't expect that I was actually affected by him.

Ward gritted his teeth and tried to recall the respectful teachings his adoptive father, John Garrett, had given him over the years. The balance that was originally a little cheap finally tipped in the "right" direction again.

084 Item The obelisk is a treasure that Mr. Garrett must obtain. He must complete this task to repay Mr. Garrett for his upbringing!

Thinking of this, Ward gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator of the off-road vehicle again, and accelerated the vehicle towards the outskirts of the city.

"Call for backup, Coulson, things will get serious if this continues."

Driving a Chevrolet Suburban, she was stuck behind the SHIELD off-road vehicle in front of her. Melinda glanced through the rearview mirror at the car accident caused by two cars suddenly running a red light at the intersection behind her, and she couldn't help but frown.

"The current situation of SHIELD is unstable. Continuing to make things bigger will only cause more trouble for Agent Hill."

Hearing this, Coulson, who was sitting in the passenger seat on the other side with a helpless expression because the radio communication was cut off, also cast his eyes on the rearview mirror and did not comment on Melinda's statement.

In fact, Melinda was right. After the Insight Project, S.H.I.E.L.D. had lost trust in the hearts of the US government.

Even with the support of Leni and other Avengers and Stark Industries, it is difficult for the government to fully support the current S.H.I.E.L.D.

Especially after Nick Fury announced his retirement and announced his death, the government's attitude towards S.H.I.E.L.D. was basically not good.

Even the entire Trident headquarters was controlled by the government and the military overnight. A large number of properties that originally belonged to SHIELD are still stored in the military.

If Leni had not made arrangements in advance and asked Coulson to take away a lot of confidential information and equipment in advance, not to mention the obelisk, I am afraid that even the modified Suburban off-road vehicle under her seat would be It also has to be something for the military.

After pondering for a moment, Colson could only sigh:

"Slow down, I'll contact Sitwell and ask him to come over and help."

It was not an option to continue pressing forward step by step. Coulson was also worried that if Ward was really pushed forward, the latter would do more irrational things.

He simply took out his cell phone and dialed Sitwell's number, preparing to ask the latter to help solve the problem.

"Colson? Why are you calling me at this time? Aren't you supposed to be at the hub base with Melinda now?"

Just after arranging for several members of Task Force 141 to transport some confidential equipment, Sitwell answered the phone with some strangeness.

It stands to reason that Coulson and the others have to move to the hub base today, right? Why are they suddenly looking for him at this time?

"Sitwell, we have something going on here. Please bring someone to help quickly. Agent Grant Ward has defected!"

Hearing this, Sitwell was stunned for a moment, almost wondering if he heard it wrong.

"Wait, defection? Who?"

"Grant Ward! He stole the 084 item obelisk!"

The situation was urgent, and Coulson couldn't tell Sitwell too much in detail. He could only give a brief overview of the situation first, and he would wait until the other side sent someone over to talk about the rest.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Sitwell no longer cared about transporting goods. He immediately turned to the remaining members of Task Force 141 and said:

"There's something going on over there with Coulson. Put down your things first. Captain Price, hurry up and take someone with me!"

…

Time goes back half an hour -

According to Leni's arrangements in advance, S.H.I.E.L.D., which has now lost its Trident headquarters, will move to another secret base, The Hub, and use it as its new core base.

Unlike the Trident headquarters, the hub base will no longer be disclosed to the outside world, and its location is also set as highly confidential. Even in the US government, except for a few high-ranking people, not many people know about this base. Where is the construction located?

The mission of Coulson and others today is to secretly transport a large amount of confidential equipment, including the 084 item obelisk, to the base.

It's just that compared to the numerous and miscellaneous confidential equipment at Sitwell and Task Force 141, the things Coulson and the others need to transport are actually just a few items, and together they only amount to a few suitcases. That’s all.

Therefore, in order not to attract excessive attention from the government, Coulson did not arrange too many people to escort him. He only found Melinda and Ward to help carry out this seemingly simple transportation task.

"Why don't we just fly there instead of driving?"

Ward was sitting in the passenger seat of the off-road vehicle. He glanced at the other Chevrolet Suburban that was following closely behind the vehicle as if nothing had happened. He pretended to be confused and asked. At the same time, he inadvertently glanced at the man in the back seat. The silver-white suitcase was casually put down by Coulson.

"There is no other way. There are only a few Quinjets left in the bureau now, and there are so many goods that need to be transported. To be on the safe side, we can only hand over the planes to Sitwell and the others for use first."

Colson smiled bitterly, feeling bitter in his heart.

The Insight Project destroyed nearly 90% of the Quinjets at Trident Headquarters, and the few remaining ones were targeted and snatched away by the U.S. Air Force early on.

Nowadays, the only ones left in the bureau were the ones they had stored at the Slingshot Base, and Leni had to spend a lot of time to save them from those greedy guys.

Otherwise, today's S.H.I.E.L.D. may not even be able to produce a decent aircraft.

The confidential cargo that needs to be transported during this relocation is very complicated, and it even includes a lot of old equipment that was retained by S.H.I.E.L.D. when it developed the Cosmic Cube weapon. In order to ensure the safety of these goods, S.H.I.E.L.D. The already scarce air transport capacity should not be temporarily provided to Sitwell.

As for the three Coulsons, they had no choice but to reluctantly bring some simple confidential items along the way and hand them to the hub base.

"But it would be too slow to drive there..."

Ward continued to complain calmly, but he already had concerns in his heart.

"Slow is a bit slow, but it's not bad this way. Just treat it like a road trip. I've been worried about it for so long, so it's time to take a relaxing break."

Coulson smiled reassuringly at Ward, but in Ward's opinion, that smile was actually somewhat self-comforting.

However, Ward didn't point it out, he just raised the corner of his mouth to accommodate him, and then stopped dwelling on this topic, and instead "concentrated" on looking at the scenery outside the car window.

In this way, a group of two off-road vehicles drove towards the suburbs of Washington one after another. The journey was smooth and they did not encounter any robberies, car accidents or anything like that. It seemed that this trip might It will be extremely smooth.

However, just as the group of people was about to drive onto the highway, Coulson suddenly connected the radio communication of the car behind him and said aloud to Melinda and the others in the other car:

"I don't have enough fuel in the car. I'm going to fill it up. You can come with me if you need it."

As he said this, Colson smiled and winked at Ward beside him, meaning to ask him if he wanted to go to the toilet or something.

Ward, who received the message, did not reject it and shrugged to show that it didn't matter.

"Oh~ Okay, let's go there too."

Melinda's slightly helpless sigh came over the radio, sounding like she was lamenting that there was nothing she could do about Coulson, a somewhat willful boss.

Hearing this, Coulson smiled slyly, immediately turned the steering wheel and steered the off-road vehicle, then broke into a gas station on the roadside.

Parking the car skillfully, Colson unbuckled his seat belt and took the lead in opening the door and getting out of the car.

Ward, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at the silver-white suitcase that was still neatly placed on the back seat. After pondering for a second, he simply unbuckled his seat belt and pushed the door open and walked out.

"You should know that Agent Hill is very urgent, right, Coulson."

As soon as he got out of the car, Ward heard Melinda complaining from behind the car.

"There is nothing we can do about it in a hurry, unless the bureau can free up a Quinjet for us now..."

Colson didn't seem to be worried at all. He walked to the gas pump and took off the refueling gun to refill the off-road vehicle with fuel. Then he casually hummed a familiar tune.

“Country roads~take me home~

To the place I belong~

West Virginia mountain mamma~

Take me home country roads~”

Seeing this, Melinda had no choice but to shake her head helplessly, take off the oil gun from the other tanker, and refill her own off-road vehicle with fuel.

Seeing that Melinda also acquiesced to Coulson's "passive and sabotaging" behavior, Agent Ward simply gave up, said hello to Coulson, and walked into the gas station convenience store, planning to go there first. Go to the restroom and relax.

However, just as Ward had finished relaxing, washed his hands and was about to return to the car, he was at the corner when he suddenly heard the discussion between Colson and Melinda from across the shelf a few meters away from him in the store.

"How are you going to solve his problem? We can't keep such a time bomb with us..."

Melinda didn't seem to notice the sound coming from the direction of the bathroom. She was standing in front of the shelves and picking something.

"His name is not on that list. We cannot conclude that he is..."

Coulson, who was on the other end of the shelf, also lowered his voice, while rubbing his chin with one hand, and his eyes lingering on the two packages of donuts in front of him.

"But Leni didn't deny it, right?"

Melinda glanced back at Colson, who was still squatting by the shelf, hesitating between frosted donuts and chocolate donuts.

After hearing this, the latter looked up at her with personal feelings, and asked in reply, seemingly unanswered:

"What do you think I should choose?"

Melinda was silent, looking at the two packages of donuts, one black and one white, in the latter's hand, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

If she had followed her original temperament and was as decisive as a cavalry, she would have taken the initiative to eliminate the root cause.

But, today is different from the past...

Listening to the conversation between the two, Ward in the corner felt a huge shock in his heart.

The amount of information contained in the conversation between Coulson and Coulson just now was so high that it almost made this experienced top agent feel dizzy.

Even though he had experienced various professional trainings, he could not help but insert himself into the conversation just now.

"List, Coulson just mentioned the list. Could he be talking about the Hydra list submitted by Leni Stark before?"

"The time bomb...are you talking about me? What do you mean by Leni not denying it? Does Leni Stark also know the identity of that gentleman?"

Ward's mind was racing for a moment, and he was unconsciously confused.

But fortunately, he adjusted his mentality quickly after receiving professional training. He regained his composure in just a few breaths, and secretly had a new calculation in his heart.

As an undercover agent for Hydra, he knew exactly how to hide himself.

Anyone who often works as an undercover agent knows that the most taboo thing about a high-risk profession like undercover is a guilty conscience and panic. The more guilty and panic you encounter when your identity is suspected to be exposed, the easier it is for you to find loopholes, and the easier it is for the enemy to confirm your identity.

So Ward immediately decided to pretend that he didn't hear anything, and then planned to walk out in a dignified manner.

Thinking of this, Ward immediately returned to the bathroom and turned on the faucet to deliberately make some noise again. Then he walked out of the corner with a normal expression while waving his hands.

However, before Ward could say hello to Colson, who was selecting products, the sound of a shotgun being loaded suddenly came from the door of the convenience store!

"Robbery! Don't move!"

The sudden voice made the three people present stunned. Coulson, who was still struggling to choose which donut to choose, could not help but look at Melinda behind him.

He sighed in his heart, "It's better not to raise some flags randomly..."

"Raise your hands! If you dare to move, I will blow your head off!"

The robbers' shouting at the cashier at the door continued. Judging from their voices, there should be only two uninvited guests who broke into this convenience store.

Colson glanced at Ward, who had just walked out of the corner of the bathroom and immediately lowered his body to hide himself when he heard the noise. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly and thought about something.

Melinda on the other side also noticed Ward's actions, her eyes also condensed slightly, and subconsciously pressed her hand to her waist.

Seeing this, Coulson immediately reached out to stop Melinda's actions, shook his head slightly, and signaled the other party not to act rashly.

"Don't worry, let's see."

Rehabilitation training... The update status may be unstable, but Orange will try to reply as soon as possible
